    The food was delicious! I love the atmosphere and the staff was very nice. The chicken alfredo to me is the best around the chicken is just so good!

    Definitely Appreciate This Place! Our Server Was A Woman Named Kayla, Kayla Was So Respectful & Polite, Helpful & Servers Like Her Are Extremely Hard To Come By! Our Wine Came Out Same Time As Our Food Did, & She Handled It Professionally, As We No Longer Wanted It Because Who Wants Wine While Eating, Not Me Personally Lol, Food Tasted Great, I Ordered The Chicken Carbonara, A Little Light On The Chicken But Not Complaining, Restaurant & Bathrooms We're Very Clean, We Were Thanked Highly For Coming By Another Server & Manager On Our Way Out. When We Were Leaving It Was 20 Minutes After Closing, No Being Rushed Or Looked At Funny. Thank You Olive Garden! See You Again Sometime!

    What's there to share that the world doesn't know? Olive Garden is simply the best in fine dining and cuisine. We celebrated our Mom's 72nd birthday. Remiss of us not to have made reservations so our wait time was 35mins. We chit chat with other guests who were also waiting so the time went by speedily. Finally the text came in announcing that our table was ready. The food was served warm and tasted so delicious 😋. We ordered the shrimp Alfredo, as also the chicken Alfredo. The never-ending soup and salad with bread sticks as appetizers were perfect. Our hostess was accommodating and courteous (can't recall her name). I particularly like the ambience and the fact that other guests keep their conversations at an acceptable volume. Had a bit of a peeve with the waiters moving the trolley with the used plates. Created quite a racket. Maybe it was overloaded or the plates not packed properly. Nevertheless, it wasn't enough to spoil the occasion. Olive Garden is one of my favorite places for a special dinner 😊 Jan 15, 2023: We made reservations for a party of fifteen. You would have thought that they would arrange the tables in a U so we interact with each other. We were seated in two separate rows and when we asked our servers if they could rearrange them, the two very annoyed waitresses said we would have to go back outside. We said we would just stand aside and allow them to move the tables. Apparently that was not acceptable because they walked away and never returned. We moved the tables ourselves. A young man, Eric, was obviously sent to replaced them and what a wonderful young man he was! He was patient and professional. Thanks Eric for playing your part in making our occasion pleasant.

    Great food! Grilled chicken alfredo, salad, soup, bread sticks, and our sodas were all wonderful. Great atmosphere, great service, plenty of distance seating and even a handicap entrance. It was fabulous to get out.

    The service was impeccable. I can't remember our waitress name, but she was so pleasant and down to earth. It took her a little bit to get to us because she was so busy, but I assured her that I understood and that it was OK. The food however was good too. I always love the salad and bread sticks. I ordered the seafood Alfredo which could've used more Alfredo sauce because it was a little bit dry, it really barely had any sauce but I didn't make a fuss about it 🙃. I didn't really care for how the stuffed shells were made but my bf still enjoyed them. The spinach and artichoke dip was the best I've ever had. All in all it was a great atmosphere and experience.

    I've never been disappointed with the food. Staff has always been nice. Tonight Miss Miller went above and beyond to remedy a small issue. They forgot something in my to go order. It happens and they tend to stay busy. We weren't really upset just wanted to get it refunded. She was extremely courteous. We really appreciate her and her amazing customer service!

    It’s hit or miss here. Sometimes the service is horrible and slow and sometimes it’s quick and easy. However the food is always good. I just tried these fried shrimp from the appetizer menu and they were absolutely amazing!!!! Must try.

    The Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is so delicious here and the serving is enough for 2 meals for me. The service, atmosphere, and music were pleasant. Our party of 9 had an event to go to and we were able to get seated and finish eating within an hour. I will be back!

    The food came in a timely manner. However, it looked as if it had been sitting for a while. I ordered Eggplant Parmesan. It was not freshly cooked. It had definitely been sitting for a while. I'm was very disappointed. I'm not a complainer, so I didn't say anything. I will strongly reconsider visiting this restaurant in Fayetteville, NC.

    First the Good: Meadow is by far THE best server we have encountered at this location! She was attentive, courteous, and super friendly :) We had a very large, hungry crowd and she served us so quickly with just one other coworker helping her the entire time We eat here every year for a special occasion and usually it’s a hot mess getting drinks/refills/breadsticks/appetizers/soup/salad & entrees in a timely fashion. It was a great family meal together! Not so good: After an hour wait being told more than once, they were just putting chairs together and 30 min after that (1.5 hr waiting) then being told they had no clue when we would be seated. You don’t want to be that person, and ask for the manager but shortly afterwards we were seated. The excellent service from Meadow and the great meal made up for the rocky start.

    My church family visited for a couple of people Birthday. My first time and it was a very nice experience. The house salad was awesome. I had spaghetti and meatballs. Very good. Waitress was very accommodating and took great care of us. Nice atmosphere as well. I will be going back again 🙂

    Overall, it was enjoyable. Got there a little earlier than the normal dinner crowd. Walked in, a handful of young employees standing at the front desk just looking at you. Was eventually greeted and seated. The waiter Stephen was EXCELLENT! Very courteous, took care of everyone, and even watched out for serving hot plates to the kids. Never had to wait on anything, because of him.

    We had lunch at this place today, food was ok. But the waitress who assist us is very nice and attentive. The staff is nice and very welcoming. I had Shrimp scampi and it's ok, not something I'll recommend, salad seems fresh, my son like the bread sticks and his soup as well as his pizza. The price is very affordable though.

    We had a big birthday celebration for my Aunt Lucy. There were about 25 of us that came to celebrate with her. We didn't expect so many to come but the wait staff were very attentive and patient with us. Auntie is in her 80's and she loved every minute of it.

    I had unlimited soup and salad, the soup today was a little watery, but the bread, salad and calamari were good. The service is excellent. Try that peach Moscato sangria. Thanks Jade

    First time being back at Olive Garden in over 3yrs and it was just as good.... and expensive as I remember lol We tried to come here 2 other times but it was crowded & the wait was long... 3rd times the charm I guess. We were greeted upon arrival & told there would be a 30 min wait. We waited... walked to the smoke shop & the Jamaican restaurant down the road then we got a text saying the table was ready. It was less than 30min. The bathroom was dirty but the food was good -bread was cooked to perfection... lasagna was very hearty. I ate some salad, 2 breadsticks, one bite of everything from the tour of Italy and drank 2 teas and got full. The tea was FIRE and our host was nice and attentive. We got 2 meals , one appetizer & 2 drinks and paid almost $80 with tip so yeah expensive but I'm not mad about it. Will be back and would recommend.

    Super slow. We spent at least 1 hour in there although ordered right away. No breadsticks until we asked for them and were half way thru the soup. Then only 10 min after the main food showed up we finally got forks and knives. So by then everything was cold. Then instead of create your own pasta price I got charged full price for carbonara but without chicken and shrimp. She adjusted it after I pointed it out.

    My kids and I went today on a Thursday around 1 pm it was still a wait but not bad and the food was great, but the service was a little slow :/ maybe they still don’t have enough help. Not sure but anyways it was better than going on a Saturday. Soup and salad is always delicious. I see the menu but there isn’t ever a kids menu up so I thought I would add one for the parents to see. :)

    Bit of a disappointment. My husband and I have been to many branches but this one was a huge let down. We did go for dinner later than usual (10pm) but I expect the same quality of service and food regardless of the time. Our waitress (Amber) was very accommodating and sweet. Breadsticks were so bland and the soup was so watery. The salad & calamari starter were still good. A few of the staff members were sitting around and often heard a few of them talking about their personal life which seemed very unprofessional. Super let down :(

    Hadn't been here in a long time. They certainly have stepped things up since my last visit. Definitely recommend giving Olive Garden another try if its been a while since your last visit, you might be as surprised as I was.
